Injury could rule Laura Kenny out of Track World Championships

Four-time Olympic champion Laura Kenny has sustained a hamstring injury which casts doubt over whether she will compete in April’s Track Cycling World Championships in Hong Kong.

The 24-year-old, who as Laura Trott won two gold medals at the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics, was waiting to decide on her participation at the World Championships.

And in withdrawing from this month’s Six Day event in Berlin and the British Championships at the Manchester Velodrome with a hamstring injury, with no timescale given for her return, Kenny’s return to global competition may also be delayed.
